Britt may refer to:
Nathaniel Lord Britton (January 15, 1859 – June 25, 1934) was an American botanist and taxonomist who co-founded the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York.
Britton was born in New Dorp in Staten Island, New York to Jasper Alexander Hamilton Britton and Harriet Lord Turner. His parents wanted him to study religion, but he was attracted to nature study at an early age.
He was a graduate of the Columbia University School of Mines and afterwards taught geology and botany at Columbia University. He joined the Torrey Botanical Club soon after graduation and was a member his entire life. He married Elizabeth Gertrude Knight, a bryologist, on August 27, 1885. They had met when she joined the club and were lifelong collaborators in botanical research.
During their honeymoon in 1888, they visited Kew Gardens, which led to his wife proposing a botanical garden for New York at a Torrey Club meeting. Together, they campaigned to bring about the NYBG. Britton left Columbia in 1895 to become the first director of the New York Botanical Garden, a position he held until 1929. He was on the first Board of Managers for the institution, along with Andrew Carnegie, J. Pierpont Morgan, and Cornelius Vanderbilt II. He engendered substantial financial support for the botanical garden by naming plants after wealthy contributors.
Britt is both a surname and a given name. Notable people with the name include:
I thought I wanted it this way
I thought I really meant the words that I said
I had so many reasons in my head
But all I really needed was a little time and space
That was just a phase
Now its an empty room
Without you, without you
It's an empty room to come home, to come home to
It's an empty room without you, without you
And this empty room
Just isn't home, it isn't home without you
Well I guess I'm out of sorts
Yeah, I must have been completely out of my head
Cause I feel like I'm a stranger in my own bed
And all the walls and ornaments they seem to offend me
Won't you forgive me?
I thought I wanted this way
